BACKGROUND

The goal of this training workshop is to help build the capacity of community organizations to engage in collaborative research to improve health in their community, and to ensure that research partnerships are equitable. This is achieved through instructions for them to put on a customizable workshop for community partners.

The training manual is composed of a document outlining all the parts of the program, a 3-part workshop slide deck, facilitator instructions and all of the training materials needed during the workshop, as well as a list of supplies. 

Part one of the workshop focuses on defining research and identifying ways in which research partnerships may be useful for an organization. Part two focuses on establishing equitable community-academic partnerships. Part three focuses on community-based participatory research, a collaborative partnership approach. The workshop also has several activities for participants to work through and explore for their community organization.
